The personal information of each person whose personal information is linked to the same travel itinerary may be accessible by all others included in that same itinerary.

  2. While you are on your vacation.


    When you take part in the Services aboard one of our ships or at one of our properties, we collect information about your visit, including information about your interactions with our staff, programming and with the technology-enhanced features of our ships and hotels.
     

    There are a few different types of vacation experiences where we may collect and use your information:
     

    • AMENITIES, EXCURSIONS & ADD-ON SERVICES. If you choose to take advantage of our amenities or enhance your vacation with on-board purchases of goods or Services, we collect your personal identifiers, customer records, and commercial information. Depending on the Service, we may also need to collect information about your health or medical conditions. We use this information to process your transaction, book and administer your Services, to communicate with you and those traveling with you about your Services, and to inform our advertising and marketing activities. Where the Services are provided by third-party companies, we will use your information to coordinate and facilitate their provision of the Service.
    • INCIDENTS AND HEALTH SCREENINGS. If, while traveling with us, you suffer a personal injury, fall ill, submit a claim about a personal injury, or are otherwise involved in an incident, we collect your personal identifiers, health or medical information and details about the incident. We may also screen you for symptoms of potential contagions, such as COVID-19, that may present a risk to the other guests and crew members aboard our ships, including through temperature checks, self-assessment questionnaires and tissue sampling. We use this information to attend to your medical and safety needs and those of our guests and crew, maintain records of incidents, facilitate investigations and remedies, to protect our rights and the rights of our guests, for security and public health purposes, to prevent fraud, and to improve our Services.
    • PHOTO & VIDEO FOOTAGE. We collect a security photo at or before you board our ships. We operate closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras on board our ships, including at all access points and throughout the public areas. These CCTV cameras record continually and images of you may appear in these recordings ("CCTV images"). Photographers and camera crews take photographs and make films for guests to purchase at the end of their vacation or for our own promotional use. They are happy to take reasonable steps to avoid filming or photographing you where you indicate to the person with the camera that this is your preference , but we are unable to guarantee that your images will not be included on an incidental basis. We use this information for our own promotional purposes, to maintain records of incidents, facilitate investigations and remedies, to protect our rights and the rights of our guests, for security purposes, to enable public health measures, to prevent fraud, and to improve our Services. We may apply facial recognition technology to your security photo to facilitate camera-enabled rapid embarkation, debarkation, at entry and exit of the vessel at ports of call. We may also use facial recognition to link the pictures and videos taken by onboard photographers or videographers to you for ease of ordering and to reduce paper waste. After sailing, you will still be able to access your linked photos and videos via our connection with a third-party photo library service. We delete facial biometric identifiers promptly following completion of the voyage though we may retain any photos that have been identified and linked to a guest account for up to two (2) years to enable guest access and purchase of photos and photo memorabilia after the end of the voyage.
    • CASINO. If you choose to play or use the services in one of our Casinos or gaming arcades and/or participate in one or more bingo sessions or online gaming experiences, we may collect your personal identifiers, customer records and commercial information. We also collect information about your gaming activity, such as the games you play, duration of play, results of play, total amount wagered, and amount of winnings. We may use this information to validate your identity and age, to determine your eligibility for promotions and offers during your vacation and for future travel, to inform our marketing and advertising activities, and to communicate directly with you. In addition, we may use this information to generate win/loss statement, to conduct credit checks, process lines of credit, or otherwise as needed to comply with our legal obligations and to prevent or investigate fraud. Note: guest casino sites may only be available in international waters or locations where permitted by applicable jurisdictional laws.
    • MEDALLIONCLASS® Where available on MedallionClass® ships and at certain resorts or destinations, we collect information from and linked to your use of your Medallion® wearable (the “Medallion®”), as well as information collected through OCEAN® websites and applications, including MedallionClass®, PlayOcean®, and Ocean® Casino ( together with MedallionClass® ships and destinations, the “MedallionClass® Services”), your use of the Medallion® during your vacation, and from your booking and interactions with our Services on-board and in select resorts. The wearable Medallion® allows us to collect your position and movement information through sensors and readers located throughout our MedallionClass® ships and in certain resorts and properties which emit a signal that detects the presence of the Medallion®. This allows us to gather information about your position and location within the ship and your movements on-board. The Medallion® technology is not a global positioning system and cannot detect the precise geolocation (lat/long) of an individual. The Medallion® is linked to your other personal information associated with your registration and traveler profile. We use this information to enable certain personalized features and Services online and during your vacation. For example, we use this information to locate you during your vacation and enable you to locate other members of your family, to contact you and deliver requested Services to your location (e.g., food delivery), to send you content or messaging relevant to your location and to customize your interactions with our Services. We may also use this information to monitor and protect the health and safety of our guests, including to conduct contact tracing, or investigate wrongful acts or allegations as appropriate. We may also use this information, individually and in aggregate, to develop and improve our Services and to understand the movement patterns and behaviors of guests on our ship. When you make a purchase through the MedallionClass® Services using your Medallion®, we will process the commercial information you have on file in order to complete your transaction, detect and prevent fraud, and to inform our advertising and marketing.

The sensors will still be able to detect your on board position when you use the card to access your room, make a payment, or take a photo, but the card cannot be read by the long-range sensors to track movement data around the ship. Some features of the MedallionClass® Services will not be available to you if you do not use the Medallion®.

  • REQUESTS FOR MINOR CHILDREN. If you wish to submit a request to access, modify or delete information on behalf of your minor child in accordance with applicable jurisdictional laws, you must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify your child is the person about whom we collected personal information and you are authorized to submit the request on your child’s behalf (i.e., that you are the child’s legal guardian or authorized representative).

COVID-19 Notice

In response to the global coronavirus pandemic and to protect against the risks of other communicable illness, all guests may be required to undergo health screenings and we will collect additional information recommended by public health authorities or other government agencies or to otherwise demonstrate our guests’ ongoing health and fitness to travel, including:

  • CONTACT INFORMATION. Information such as name, nationality, country of residence, originating address, destination address, telephone, and email;
  • SYMPTOMS AND HEALTH INFORMATION. Information regarding the presence or absence of possible COVID-19 or other global pandemic symptoms, which may be collected through temperature scans, tissue sampling, medical examinations, surveys or questionnaires, as well as information about pre-existing medical conditions;
  • EXPOSURE. Information regarding potential exposure to or infection with COVID-19 or other global pandemic, which may include recent travel history, contacts with guests, crew or other individuals.;
  • CONTACT TRACING VIA WEARABLE DEVICE TECHNOLOGY AND OCEANORBIT™ CONTACT TRACING SYSTEM. Information about on-board contacts with crew, guests or other individuals collected via wearable technology such as the Medallion® on MedallionClass® ships and properties and/or the OceanOrbit™ Contract Tracing system. These devices collect data, such as personal contact, time stamp, duration of contact and frequency of contact with others.
  • AS REQUIRED BY LAW. Information collected by our on-board crew or reservations staff pursuant to directives by public health organizations or other government agencies.

We collect and use this information because:

  • we must comply with certain regulatory requirements regarding public health, including to determine your fitness to travel consistent with applicable government regulations and guidelines;
  • we have a legitimate business interest in ensuring the health and safety of our passengers, crew and the public;
  • we have a legitimate business interest in complying with legal and regulatory requirements applicable in the various jurisdictions in which we operate;
  • we need to use this information to perform our contract with you to provide our vacation experiences.

Contact Tracing through OceanOrbit™ Contract Tracing System. To help mitigate and manage the potential spread of COVID-19 or other global pandemic illnesses, we use wearable device technology to identify individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19 and to rapidly detect potential secondary cases that may arise after transmission from an infected individual. The OceanOrbit™ device is a wearable portable electronic device that collects data as guests and crew interact with one another in public and in private areas by broadcasting and recording the presence and proximity of other OceanOrbit™ devices. The OceanOrbit™ system collects time stamps, duration of contact and frequency of contacts. The raw data is associated with the device ID number but will be correlated with guest or crew personal information in the event that contract tracing is called for. On MedallionClass® ships, we may use on board contact data collected in connection with the Medallion®, rather than the OceanOrbit™ system, which will be linked to your personal information in the same manner as all other OCEAN® data. As part of our contract tracing efforts, we take reasonable precautions to respect our Guests’ privacy and confidentiality by communicating contact exposure information in a manner that is not personally identifiable. However, information about you may be disclosed in a manner that could allow the recipient to determine your identity. For example, if we determine that it is necessary to disclose to a guest that she was in contact with an individual who tested positive for COVID-19 for a period of 1-2 hours on a particular date, that guest may be able to ascertain the likely identity of the unnamed individual based on her personal experience.

We may disclose your personal information, contacts and health information with third parties or individuals to attend to your medical and safety needs and those of our guests and crew; to comply with legal and regulatory requirements; to facilitate public health response initiaves; to conduct contract tracing of individuals who are exposed to or test positive for COVID-19 or other communicable illness while staying with us; or if we reasonably believe that such disclosure is necessary to inform your health care or to protect the personal safety or health of our guests, crew, or other individuals. For example, we may disclose personal identifiers and health or medical information to our personnel and contractors, port agents and authorities, government officials, health agencies or any other individual or institution as reasonably needed to support public health initiatives, comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, attend to your medical and safety needs, facilitate investigations and remedies, track and mitigate risks of communicable illness including COVID-19, and to protect the rights, health and safety of our guests, crew, and others.

Children's Privacy

Though Princess Cruise Lines provides fun for families of all ages, most of our online Services are not intended to be used by children, nor do we have actual knowledge that children are using these online Services. When we intend to collect personal information from children online, we take additional steps to protect their privacy, including:

  • notifying and obtaining consent from parents and legal guardians, in accordance with applicable law,
  • limiting our collection of personal information from children to no more than is reasonably necessary to participate in the online activity, and
  • giving parents and legal guardians the ability of access personal information that we have collected from their children and to request the personal information be deleted or modified.

If you believe that we might have inadvertently collected information from a child without appropriate parental consent, please contact us at privacyPCL@princesscruises.com so that we may delete the information as soon as possible.

Where we collect personal information about children (for instance, information provided by a parent or legal guardian, travel agent or other travel partner), we process such information in a manner consistent with applicable laws protecting the privacy of children’s data. For additional information about our practices regarding the collection of information from children, please read our Children’s Privacy Notice.

      Additional information on how your personal information is transferred globally. In case your personal information is transferred to jurisdictions located outside of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, for example, to the United States or any other country where we have operations, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards exist and are taken, such as:

      • the recipient of the personal information is located within a country that benefits from an “adequacy” decision of the European Commission;
      • the recipient has signed a contract based on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your personal information;
      • or in the absence of the above appropriate safeguards, we will ask you for your explicit consent for the cross-border transfer of your personal information or take any other measures that are recognized as providing a sufficient level of protection for your personal information.

      Please be aware that the United States’ laws have not yet been acknowledged as providing for a data protection standard which is adequate to the ones within your jurisdiction.

    Before processing a Minor’s personal information, we will seek consent from their parent or other legal guardian. For additional information about our practices regarding the collection of information from children, please read our Children’s Privacy Notice.
     

    Legal basis for the processing of your personal information. Our processing of your personal information as described in the Section “How We Collect and Use Information” is based on the following legal grounds:
     

    • Consent: We may need your consent in connection with our promotional activities in particular, such as sending you promotional messages, if you decide to participate in sweepstakes, to deploy certain cookies when you use our online services and where you use certain Services where we collect location information or information about your health or medical conditions.

      Where we need your consent, you have the right not to provide consent, or to withdraw it at any time. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of our use of your personal information before your withdrawal. If you have granted us consent to use your personal information, we will use it only for the purposes specified in the consent declaration. Please note that to the extent our processing is based on your consent and you deny your consent or withdraw it, we may not be able to provide the Service relating thereto. Besides from that, neither the initial denial nor a withdrawal will have any negative consequences for you.

    • Enter into or perform a contract with you: We rely on this legal basis in particular in the following cases:
       

      • to manage your travel bookings and orders;
      • to provide you with our Services, e.g., process your on-board purchases of goods or Services,
      • to communicate with you to provide technical or administrative support, or
      • to be able to provide our online Services.
    • Carry out legal responsibilities or legal obligations: We may be obliged to process personal information to carry out our legal responsibilities or legal obligations, for example where we are required to retain data for tax law or commercial purposes or where we must comply with regulatory requirements regarding public health or gambling.
    • Respond to an emergency: We may collect and process your personal information in order to respond to a public health emergency or to protect a natural person’s life, health and property safety in an emergency.
    • Reasonably process legitimately published personal information: We may reasonably process your personal information that has been published by you or otherwise has been published legitimately.

    Your Rights: You are entitled to the following rights in respect of your personal information that we hold:
     

    • RIGHT TO KNOW AND DECIDE. You have the right to know and to decide about processing of your personal information unless the law provides otherwise. For example, we may be obligated by law to keep certain information confidential or may be exempted from notification under certain circumstances. You also have the right to request us to explain our rules on processing your personal information.
    • RIGHT TO RESTRICT OR OBJECT. You have the right to restrict or object to any processing of your personal information unless the law provides otherwise. For example, you may not be able to restrict or object to processing that is made on a legal basis other than your consent.
    • RIGHT TO ACCESS AND REPRODUCE. You have the right to access your personal information or to obtain a copy of your personal information unless we are obligated by law to keep certain information confidential.
    • RIGHT TO TRANSFER. You have the right to transfer your personal information to another processor appointed by you, provided that the transfer meets the requirements set forth by the Cyberspace Administration of China.
    • RIGHT TO RECTIFY AND SUPPLEMENT. You have the right to have your personal information rectified or supplemented where that personal information is inaccurate or incomplete.
    • RIGHT TO ERASE. You have the right to request the erasure of your personal information. However, if we are obligated by law to retain your personal information for a longer period of time, or it is technically unfeasible to erase your personal information, we will retain your personal information with necessary security protection measures and will not otherwise process your personal information.

    In some cases, our ability to uphold these rights for you may depend upon our obligations to process personal information for security, safety, fraud prevention reasons, compliance with regulatory or legal requirements, or because processing is necessary to deliver the services you have requested. Where this is the case, we will inform you of specific details in response to your request.
     

    Please also note that after an individual passed away, their next of kin may be able to exercise the individual rights of the deceased in accordance with law.
     

    For further information on how to exercise those rights, you may contact our Data Protection Officer by sending an email to privacyPCL@princesscruises.com.
     

    You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent personal information protection authority.

    This section applies to you if you are a resident of Japan, in accordance with the Act of Protection of Personal Information (the “APPI”) of Japan.

How we protect your information

We care about the security of your information and employ physical, administrative, and technological safeguards designed to preserve the integrity and security of all information collected through our Service. However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems 100%.

In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take steps to investigate the situation and, where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

While we take steps to protect your personal information and keep it secure, you also play a role in protecting your information. You can help to maintain the security of your online and mobile transactions by not sharing your reservation number, username, or password with anyone.

DATA RETENTION. We will only store your personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose of collection as set out in this Privacy Notice in accordance with our data retention policies, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law. If we are required by applicable law to store your personal information beyond this period (e.g., for tax and commercial law reasons), we will delete the personal information after the end of this storage period.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use and disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process the personal information, and the applicable legal requirements. After the expiry of the aforementioned retention periods, we will delete or anonymize your personal information.

If, after you sign up for our promotional emails, you unsubscribe from receiving our promotional emails, we will delete your personal information from our mailing lists. However, we might store your email address in a blacklist to ensure that you will not receive any further communication.

Children's privacy notice

Though Princess Cruise Line provides fun for families of all ages, most of our online Services are not intended to be used by children, nor do we have actual knowledge that children are using these online Services. When we intend to collect personal information from children through a mobile app or online service, we take additional steps to protect their privacy.

The privacy of our youngest users is very important to us. Children under 13 (in the US) or otherwise defined by applicable law (for example, under age 14 in China or under age 16 in the EEA) (“Child” or “Children”) may download our mobile apps and use them with limited functionality without providing any personal information. If a Child creates a login profile and we determine the Child is underage, the we will seek express authorization of a parent or legal guardian before the Child will be permitted to provide additional personal information, make purchases, or engage the chat functions.

Please contact us at privacyPCL@princesscruises.com if you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a Child without necessary parental consent so that we can delete this information as soon as possible.

When we recognize a Child is using an application, the following policies and practices apply:

  • We collect only as much personal information as necessary to provide the functions of the application and to provide notice to parents, consistent with the requirements of children’s privacy laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).
  • We will seek parental consent before we will enable certain features of the mobile applications, including chat and location features and in-app purchases.

How a child’s personal information is collected. During the registration process, we collect the individual’s first and last name, date of birth, and booking number associated with a voyage (optional) to locate the user in our booking systems.

If we determine the individual is a Child, we use the contact information for the parent or guardian identified in the reservation to provide notice and request consent for the Child to participate in the full features and functionality of the app.

We automatically collect usage information and information related to the Child’s device, such as a mobile device or app ID number or other persistent identifier, information about the Child’s mobile operating system and device settings, and app usage data, as needed to support the internal operations of the application, to monitor and improve our websites and services, and for other internal purposes.

If a parent or guardian provides consent for the Child to use the chat and purchase functions, we will also collect the information the Child provides in chat content, chat usage data, as well as a record of purchase transactions. If the Child uses a Medallion® onboard a MedallionClass® ship, the app will collect the onboard location data.

How a child’s personal information is used and shared. We use the personal information collected to provide the features and functions of the App, such as permitting the Child to view the shipboard schedule, select activities, engage in chat functions (if enabled) and identify photos taken onboard the ship. With the parent’s consent, the Child may make on-board purchases. The Child’s information may be shared with on board Staff to facilitate purchases and deliver dining requests, and the purchase transaction data will be shared with the parent associated with the Child’s account. With the parent’s consent, the Child may use the Shipmates chat function to communicate with individuals approved by the parent. We always recommend that parents supervise their Children who are permitted to use the Shipmates chat function. The Child’s movement and on-board position data will be shared with the authorized parent and any other members of the booking party or individuals the parent has approved for location access. We may also use the Child’s information to enhance the guest experience onboard and in the app. We will not use information collected from the Child to personalize or target advertising to Children.

How parents may access and control a child’s information. At any time, parents can withdraw consent for further collection of personal information from the Child through the App and can request that we delete from our records the personal information we have collected in connection with the App. Please keep in mind that a request to delete records may lead to a termination of an account or other service, and that we may not be able to delete information that we need to retain for certain legal or business records.

To access the information we have collected from the Child:

  1. Parents can request access to and delete their Child’s personal information by logging on to the Child’s account through the Child’s mobile device. Parents will need their Child’s username and password.
  2. Parents can contact Guest Services to request access to, change, or delete their Child’s personal information by visiting the Guest Services desk on board. If you believe your child is participating in an activity that collects personal information and you or another parent/guardian have NOT given consent for, please feel free to contact us Guest Services.

Retention of Children’s Data

We retain the information collected from the Child only as long as necessary to provide the Services and fulfil our internal business purposes. We delete personal information collected directly from the Child within 30 days after the voyage / date of collection.
